Instrumentation and Test Systems

The need for CO₂ reduction, the increasing complexity of new powertrain systems, and a requirement to achieve the highest possible level of process efficiency - along with the need to quickly launch new models - are some of the key challenges facing the automotive industry now and for the foreseeable future.

Manufacturing

AVL is the number one global partner for high precision manufacturing for leading OEMs, prototype manufactures and premium motorsport teams. With over 40 years of experience, AVL manufactures components with the highest level of precision, quality and customer service. Their manufacturing includes rotatory and cubic components and extends from the classic five components (camshaft, crankshaft, cylinder head, cylinder block and connection rod) up to various vehicle, industrial and E-Motor/Battery components. Flexible tool and device concepts, a fully air-conditioned manufacturing site and in ...

Powertrain Controls

Controls are a key characteristic to differentiate the behavior of the powertrain in regards to vehicle performance, emissions, robustness of diagnostic and brand style (Brand DNA). AVL can deliver independent and modular powertrain software control solutions from prototype through to production to meet individual customer demands.

Engine Production

AVL as reliable cooperation partner supporting customers to ensure the production quality during the production and manufacturing process of combustion engines. The increasing complexity in combustion engines requires a consistent and smart test methodology and test technology considering the manufacturing and assembling processes related to modern engine technologies.

Vehicle development

The development of modern vehicles with extremely complex powertrain concepts puts high requirements on new development and validation methods with the associated tools. In order to save costs and reduce development times, road tests are increasingly being transferred to vehicle testbeds and replaced by simulation. Transferability and a balance between the individual test environments (off-line simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, component testbed, vehicle testbed, road, etc.) must be guaranteed.

Compact Engines & 2-Wheeler

Motorcycles and all kinds of power products as well as recreational products used on water, air and solid ground demanding best suitable technology and perfect quality but still at highly attractive cost.

Commercial Vehicles - On Road

Powertrains for light, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles use an increasing number of complex systems for engine, transmission, electric drives, exhaust aftertreatment and the respective electronic control systems. The key is to balance this complexity with the life cycle cost of the vehicle.

Construction Equipment

The construction equipment market is one of the most demanding but also exciting markets. Highest requirements and customer expectation in respect to robustness, reliability, initial costs, functionality, efficiency and comfort are driving factors. AVL supports its customers in all the phases of the product life cycle to develop a product that will fully satisfy their customers and also end user. Together we will be able to develop the future. AVL supports the life cylce of the product beginning with: Marketstudies and Benchmarks - those lead to the Specification of the Concept Studies and ...

AVL Customer Services for Testing Solutions

AVL Customer Services safeguard the availability and usability of equipment and devices throughout the product lifecycle. The value generated from the investment is maximized by avoiding the high cost of operational downtime and reducing the risk of inaccurate testing results.

Services

By the unique cooperation of the three branches Powertrain Engineering, Advanced Simulation Technologies and Instrumentation &Test Systems, most efficient and cost – oriented development processes, methodologies and tools are developed and implemented. Thus AVL manages the interfaces between R&D, series development and production in the most effective way . Using the holistic engineering competence of AVL Powertrain Engineering as well as the systematic process management and the worldwide AVL network of TechCenters, we are able to support the customer in each single development phas ...

Support & Manage

Managing test field data as well as calibration data in planning, preparation and execution of test jobs and further processing of results is becoming more and more important within the automotive industry, foremost to be able to increase efficiency all over the development process.

Evaluate & Calibrate

The automotive industry is facing the major challenge of having to develop and secure a growing number of variants with increasing complexity within shorter and shorter periods of time. At its core, the issue is all about achieving increased agility, efficiency and robustness in the development process. Crucial to addressing this challenge are consistent, model-based testing methods and tools, to which the processes, development environments and collaboration models need to be adapted.

Integrate & Simulate

Building up a network of testing environments and/or locations forces our customers to share information and methods across processes, data and locations. AVL supports this needs of our customers in providing strong integration platforms and simulation capabilities for connecting processes and development environments on a single or even over distributed locations.

AVL Test Systems - Innovative Solutions for the Entire Powertrain

With decades of experience, AVL provides a wide range of solutions for developing and testing modern powertrain systems, from testbeds for optimizing internal combustion engines to test systems for all components in an electrified powertrain to roller testbeds for full vehicle development and testing.

Measure & Control

When looking into your application and measurement problem, independent if it is the measurement of fuel, the conditioning of some media like water or air or the fulfillment of legislative norms like the measurement of some limited emission gas components, then a reliable and proven test solution is a must.

Testing Focus

Testing of arising or existing products is done for different purposes. AVL provides with its portfolio a broad variety of solutions dedicated to specific testing tasks consolidated in the areas of Research, Development & Certification Production Field, InUse & InService

Simulation Tools

The challenge of reducing time and costs along the product development cycle has created a growing demand to replace physical prototypes with virtual prototypes using frontloading. The vast range of variables in modern powertrain systems and the increasingly considered interaction of all vehicle components are to be mastered in the most efficient manner. Engineers are facing a great number of challenging development and simulation tasks which necessitate more than just ‘good software'.
